Table 4 Fitting of the global alignment scores of the LS sequence set generated with different window sizes. The sequence length is 200aa and all alignments were carried out with the BLOSUM62 matrix with an affine gap penalty of -7/-1. Global alignment scores were fitted to the gamma and normal distribution respectively.
